I've had it once before, but it was so long ago that I didn't really remember what it was like. So I decided to try it again.
The scent of hops is very strong when you first open it. The choice of hops seems to be fairly similar to the Loose Cannonball IPA I tried a while ago. The beer itself, of course, is very different. Not as light or crisp as the Loose Cannonball, not as aromatic or strong in the hops department, but it seems like they decided not to balance out the hops so as to allow the bitterness to take hold.
However, despite the fact that it is quite bitter, the bitterness isn't overwhelming or bad, like I've had in a few other beers.
The alcohol content is 7.2%, although you can't taste or feel the alcohol at all. This one goes down smooth despite the bitterness. Or maybe even because of it. All in all, I find this one to be very well crafted, although the premise and blurb on the back are a little silly. But there's nothing wrong with a beer that has a sense of humor, and isn't afraid to make fun of both its audience and the people who aren't in its audience at the same time.
